My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a required reading for my digital storytelling course. I think I can see why it’s listed as mandatory, primarily to provide an overview of the various artistic styles of comic strip drawing, but beyond that it doesn’t hold much importance to most students in this class, since most assignments do not require the submission of comics. If that was the case, my limited skills would have me fail the course miserably.
The book was informative and explained many various styles of drawing comics/frames, which can be beneficial for the improved enjoyment of reading comics in my spare time.
